Hoke County is on the western edge of Fayetteville, and east of Charlotte. It's about 4 hours east of us. I'll have to check with the better half to see if she had heard about that facility. She volunteers (or at least used to) at a local rescue shelter called Brother Wolf. Edit: Donation on the way.

Final Four - Kansas, Oklahoma, UNC, Michigan St. Kansas over UNC (Having said that, everyone should probably bet on other teams as I never get these things right ... ) And there are already two 12-5 upsets: Ark-LR over Purdue and Yale over Baylor

Isn't it about time for some March Madness predictions?

Interesting. I knew he wasn't going to go with a liberal, that would be a waste of time for everyone. The big question is will Republicans accept that this is a decent moderate choice, or will they try and roll the dice and hope they can win the presidency and nominate a more conservative voice. Seems like a big gamble, but heck if I understand half the stuff they do. He's generally considered to be one of the most qualified possible candidates based on experience and understanding of the law, so that's a plus. Here's a (long) review of his case history. http://www.scotusblog.com/2010/04/the-potential-nomination-of-merrick-garland/

It's up to the respective national committees to set the rules. Heaven forbid that the two parties should actually agree on something.

Thanks for reaffirming my view Meshugger, I wasn't sure you would agree

Just a small correction: Florida and Ohio are "winner take all" only for the Republican primaries; for Democrats the delegate allocation is proportional. Confusing but true.

I did read your posts properly. You can just stop with the "poor me, nobody understands me" crap. There was no misunderstanding at all. The fact is that you just kept changing your story. Here's the sequence ...... And there we have it. In any case, the previous comments about relying on "credible" sources for polling predictions stand. Relying on FOX (or a bunch of guys at a convention) for an election prediction is beyond silly. And your go-to-source, CNN, credible or not, predicted an Obama victory. Check the link I provided.

Not really, Going into Iowa nobody quite knew who was the leader. There was a heavy suggestion of Trump but Carson, Jeb and Cruz all had decent support with everyone kinda laughing off Trump. The reason you got that sense of "Romney was almost the winner" was because that's what SOLD for CNN, Fox, and MSNBC. They wanted you to tune in till midnight eastern time for you to see the results. They did the same in 2008 even though that was a MUCH more lop sided fight. Simply because that earned them ratings that meant money. A lot of the issues we see in our modern political system is because this stupid stuff SELLS, if we actually voted based on who would run the country best, Clinton would be almost a shoe in because she can wheel and deal better than most CEO's. Instead we're told that being able to "have a beer" with your candidate is more important. Funny enough I was in Vegas and I did watch MSNBC and Fox only because we don't get them in SA and yes they both seemed very confidant Romney would win Fox was particular embarrassing ...I promise you they had this guest who was some sort of actuary or economist who came on and "could prove that Obama would lose.....he was 100 % certain " I certainly hope you're not relying on the talking heads on CNN, MSNBC, or FOX News for predictions regarding the Election...let alone anything of importance. I guess I gave Bruce too much credit for thinking he might have been basing his observations on creditable sources. You getting cheeky young man Guys lets just put this to bed once and for all, we dont get Fox or MSNBC in SA so yes CNN is one of my authoritative sources of political commentary Now I have to assume you guys don't watch CNN or you only watch the local US CNN....do you watch the international CNN? Its VASTLY different to local US CNN. They have numerous guests and highly informed commentators who are objective and get the political predictions normally right You guys must know people like Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper and John King....these are the types of people who comment on the US politics. They live, eat and sleep politics and to suggest they uninformed is patronizing And you're crawfishing ........ First your source was "everyone", then it was "everyone at a convention", then MSNBC and Fox and now it is CNN. Let me know when you decide where you want to land with your "source" for the facts, okay? That sort of flexibility is worthy of Donald Drumpf.

Neither of those guys are gonna be the nominee in this cycle and I don't see Rand making it past the primary in 2020. I agree about Hillary being the wrong candidate though, and could see someone like Kasich or Romney 2.0 beating her. Its interesting you guys feel Clinton would be beaten by the likes of Kaisch, it not the first time I have heard that On what evidence do you have to support this, lately various polls and even the last Presidential election have got the predictions wrong. I remember I was in the USA 1 week before the last election and everyone was predicting Romney would win ....and he didn't Your memory stinks and doesn't conform to the actual facts. The majority of polls were predicting an Obama victory. Here's a brief summary of 2012 from RealClearPolitics: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html or better still, this one : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationwide_opinion_polling_for_the_United_States_presidential_election,_2012 Just look at the 2012 post convention polls and particularly the ones right before the election. As for 2016 here are the poll summaries from RealClearPolitics : http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/2016_presidential_race.html Summary (which covers up to 5 different polls) is Clinton leads Trump and trails against Rubio, Kasich and Cruz.

It would have been stupid for him to do anything else. It's obvious his body was breaking down. He got to go out Elway style, you can't do much better than that. Always better to leave on a high note.

The South is a gigantic number of delegates, though, and while he's projected to do better outside of it, he's not projected to do so well he can make up for being absolutely crushed in the South, which is why he's currently projected to lose. He's also currently losing in Florida and Michigan, the latter of which he needs to be winning, and the former of which he needs to be at least sort of close... This. Sanders just isn't polling well enough to keep pace with Clinton let alone overtake her. He's trailing by 20+ points in Michigan, Florida, North Carolina, Illinois, Mississippi and Missouri and by 10+ points in Ohio. If those numbers hold, Sanders might as well pack it in.

According to CBS and ESPN, Peyton Manning informed the Denver Broncos on Saturday (March 5) that he is retiring. Official announcement is Monday.

ALL candidates are required to file a FEC Form 2 and there is NONE listed for Romney. Here's the list: http://www.fec.gov/press/resources/2016presidential_form2nm.shtml I can find Trump, Cruz, Clinton, Kasich and all of the others but no Romney.

Nahh, stay and fight to change. That and Canadians are largely all ****, passive aggressive ****, yes. But ****. Actually that wasn't a personal plan but more of a suggestion to some other folks. My mother was Canadian however, so there's that.

Bruce has always been a supporter of Hillary. Indeed, I am But I like Sanders, its just I believe Hilary is better suited overall to be the next US president I thought you didn't like his economic policies.

Bruce has always been a supporter of Hillary.

How about a 4.59 40 for a 270 lb DE? I dunno, I found Ogbah scarier tha Tapper. And Terron Armstead with his 4.71 has been doing pretty well of late. True. The OL times are looking pretty mediocre (so far).
